})()As of right now, ultra-lyrics exports 3 functions. All of them will return a Promise of the object of type UltraLyricsFunctionReturnType. It has 2 Properties, error and data. The error property will contain an instance of the Error class if there was an error. The data property will contain the data returned by the function IF NO ERROR OCCURED. This helps in avoidng the "try-catch hell". Full CreditsJeff Delaney for this idea. Watch this video by fireship for more info: Async Await try-catch hell
